Swift springs review!!!!!

Ron

Baer I did about 25miles today on the springs. Rear wheel gap is gone but the front is still there. There's like 1.5 - 2 inches between the tire and the fender. Is it supposed to be like that? From the pics I've seen I'm guessing (hoping) they will settle more

I just measured mine ,and it's pretty low I have .75in all the way around.

You may want to check your control arms.

Did you load the suspension when you tightened everything up?

Just got mine installed today and the drop so far looks like an inch all around. The springs did come with instructions to use the oem sleeve on the new springs and it even had a photocopy of what it should look like. As long as your installer sees that it should be fine.

I can definitely see some noticeable negative camber so I'm planning to get an alignment in a couple weeks. I suspect with the amount of driving I do, the springs will probably settle in by tomorrow lol.

So far it doesn't look like I'll have any rubbing issues with 19x9.5 +30 front with 245/40 tires and 19x10.5 +8 rear with 285/35 tires. Only issue I have now is scraping on my driveway lol

Edit: Oh yea btw, the ride on these is very similar to stock and not harsh at all. Also feels like it absorbs road imperfections better and not as bouncy. I got these mainly for the drop so any performance improvements is icing on the cake.

Crap I didn't. So, take the wheels off, loosen the camber arm bolts, raise the susp with a floor jack and then tighten the camber arm bolts. Right? How much should I raise it, until shock and spring are fully compressed?

From previous posts #385, bringing forward to discuss. I have about 170 miles on the springs now on day 6 and they have NOT settled anymore from when I had 75 miles on them. Still have 1.5 gap on three corners AND I also have the rear passenger side ON BOTH Z's at 1.75 gap. I see a pattern here with both of our 370Z's and others stating the same.

I cannot see mine dropping to what Baer383 has (above) at .75 gap on all four corners.

Can anyone confirm if they followed the same install "load the suspension when you tightened everything up" as Baer383 did? And actually what does he mean by loading up the suspension?

Is what Ron suggested (above) be our solution? I did not do my own install and my installer said he did not mess with the upper control arm bolts.

This still only addresses the the overall jacked up height on our cars BUT NOT the .25 higher gap on the rear passenger side.

Up for discussion.
